Season 2 of "Drag Den Philippines" attempts to make drag performers in the Philippines "accessible."

"Drag Den Philippines" creator, director, and writer Rod Singh has planned a dramatic second season with the goal of showcasing Filipino drag and offering a venue for its development.

“If they want drama, we’ll give them drama,” said Singh. But apart from the drama, Singh, who uses the pronoun “she” and “her,” hoped it would be an avenue for Filipino drag to take center stage.

It turned out that the interview was conducted in a surreal cyberpunk setting that was modeled after the mazes of Binondo and Tondo, Manila, as well as Poblacion in Makati. Neon lights, balloons, bright plastics strung on clotheslines, scrap metal, and tires that transported spectators into the city surrounding the space.

Rather than concentrating only on diversity promotion, the second season of "Drag Den" seeks to highlight the various facets of Filipino drag culture. The show highlights the distinctive characteristics of Filipino drag artists and promotes a contest of wit and skill. According to Singh, the creator of the show, diversity is a natural reaction to the community.

“We don’t want it to be tokenistic. It’s not a requirement to have a trans queen. In terms of casting, we didn’t have the pressure of having to cast trans queens. What I want to explore in trans narratives is for us to appreciate how far we have come in terms of trans representation,” she said.

A reality show in the Philippines called "Drag Den" honors the variety of drag culture. A wide ensemble of characters, including Deja, Margaux Rita, Elvira B, Feyvah Fatalé, Maria Lava, Mrs. Tan, Moi, Marlyn, Jean Vogue, and Russia Fox, appear in the second season of the show. Based on her ability and technical execution, Marlyn became the first performer in a Filipino drag show to be assigned female at birth (AFAB).

Instead of being exclusively centered on "ganda gandahan," the second season of the program will have a format akin to reality TV. The focus of the show is on capturing the setting while retaining concentration, and it will also have Manila Luzon as the host, chief judge, and resident "drag lord," as well as Nicole Cordoves and Sassa Gurl as the "drag dealer" and "drag runner."

The goal of the program is to accurately depict the environment while upholding the predictable reality show structure that viewers like. AFAB queen Marlyn, who sets the bar for technical execution, is a member of the show's cast.
